    For the Thanksgiving Long weekend, we headed down south to Portland, Oregon which is a five hours drive from Vancouver. We had no particular plans in mind except to have a quick getaway and to satisfy our bellies.

    portland-oregonThere is one restaurant in particular which we have visited every year for the last five and that is Andina Peruvian. It is one of our favourite restaurants (possibly in the whole world) and a visit to Portland would not be the same without it. Each visit brought new memories. One year, we even went there with both of our parents. Besides Andina, we had no other restaurants in mind and the thought of researching so many eateries was just daunting. Luckily, I had an army of foodie pals who are always indulging on the road less traveled. They gave me many great suggestions and we visited as many as we could in the short amount of time that we had. We didn't go to all of them and it would be a shame for their recommendations to go to waste so I wanted to share it with you all. Thanks to my pal, Vancouver Foodie Princess, Beth from Bites of Vancouver for this particular list:

      We go to Portland every June for my son's basketball tourney and I will need to make a trip to Adina. So happy you went to so many places in such a short period of time.
